Brand Ambassador

Let me represent your brand at IFBC!

Gap Creek Gourmet is looking for Brand Ambassador opportunities for the 2014 International Food Blogger Conference in Seattle Washington in September. A $1000 Sponsorship (covering conference, travel expenses and misc costs) gets your brand in front of more than 250 bloggers from around the world. I will post on Twitter and Facebook (using your hashtag) and GapCreekGourmet.com while at the conference, singing the praises of your brand. Deck me out and send me packing with your product swag: t-shirts, cups, pens, notepads, coupons and product. I will be a walking brand ambassador and tweeter on the streets at one of the most prestigious blogger conventions in the US. From your company to their ears, from their fingers to the world.

Organized by Foodista.com and Zephyr Adventures, IFBC began in 2009 as the first conference for food bloggers. In 2014, the event once again lands in Seattle Washington, September 19 – 21 at The Westin Seattle where food bloggers will gather from all over the world, to eat, mingle, learn and blog. More than 250 bloggers will be gathered and waiting anxiously for news of the hot new products hitting the food market. From your company to their ears, from their fingers to the world.

IFBC is the perfect market for: Bloggers, Food Writers, Cookbook Authors, Publishers, Agents and Editors, Food Brand and Restaurant Marketers, and Public Relations Professionals. What better way to get the word out than a Product Brand Ambassador, a Tweeter on the streets?

GapCreekGourmet.com averages 4,500 hits a month (and growing quickly). Most readers are from South Carolina and North Carolina.
